About Frosty the Snowman"Frosty the Snowman" is a popular Christmas song written by Jack Nelson and Steve Rollins in 1950. It was written after Gene Autry recorded "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and the single sold 2 million copies. Nelson and Rollins shopped the new song to Autry, who recorded Frosty in search of another seasonal hit.
The song is about a snowman who comes to life thanks to a magical hat some children found, and Frosty has playful adventures before he "hurried on his way". It has been covered by many artists over the years, including Ray Conniff. In 1954, the UPA studio brought Frosty to life in a 3-minute animated short that has appeared regularly on WGN-TV. Then, in 1969, the Rankin-Bass company produced a 30-minute animated television film of Frosty that featured the voices of Jimmy Durante as narrator and Jackie Vernon as the title character--this led to several television sequels over the next two decades, including one that pared Frosty with rival Rudolph.
